ONE AUTO FOR EVERY 20 PEOPLE IN PENNSYLVANIA * Big Gain in Motor Cars Made in Pennsylvania in Five * Years Pennsylvania has one automobile ' for every twenty persons, figuring *"> the population as approximately 9,- 000.000, men, women and children. This is the estimate made to-day ! from figures furnished by the State Highway Department, which shows ; there are four times as many pneu matic-tired automobiles in the State August I as there was August 1. I 1914. There are six times as many solid-tired motor vehicles now than > five years ago. In 1914 there was ' but one automobile for every sev- ■ enty people. The statement shows also that 156 dealers, in second-hand automo biles have registered since Governor ! Sproul signed a law compelling , such registration, while affidavits | have been filed by 1,523 persons ret- ' ative to the purchase of second-hand vehicles. These figures do not by j any means represent the number of second-hand dealers in Pennsylvania j nor the number of second-hand au- J tomobiles which have changed | concerning registration. It is esti mated by the automobile division j that there are 2,000 second-hand ■ dealers in this State. The registra tions are increasing, however. / The total receipts from all sources j * on August 1, for the last six years i are proof conclusive of the great j increase in the use of automotive ve hides in this State. The receipts 1 August 1. 1914. from all sources ' were $1,118,716.50. On August 1, I 1919, the figure was $4,595,350. Figures prepared by the automo bile division for August 1. the last j six years, shows the following: Pneumatic-tired vehicles, 1918, registrations. 95.031: receipts, $908.- 585: 1913. 135.752. $1,284,963: 1916. 192.432. $1,784,385; 1917. 277.081. $2,549,665: 1918. 342.367. $3,163.- j 912.50: 1919. 402.797, $3,686,750. .

E. F., i has returned to America and will con ' duct a new weekly magazine for the | discharged soldier and sailor to be known as The Home Sector. The council includes six former soldiers j ■ —five privates and a sergeant—who ' went to France in 1917 and were de- \ ■ tailed to work on the A. E. F. news- j 1 paper in the month of its founding, j ' February, 1918. The Stars and Stripes ( • announced in its anniversary issue j that at the end of the war it would 1 be "folded up and laid away, never I ■ to be taken out again." Its name was ' dedicated to the A. E. F. and Allied j cause. To commercialize a title thus. | consecrated would have been, in the j | opinion of the editors, equivalent to j dragging the flag in the dust. The Home Sector will aim to be , [ independent, outspoken and construe- I tive, say the editors. "It will have! J a lively interest in the welfare of the j discharged service man. in what his I ' Government, his State, and his town I I are doing for him, in what he is doing | . for his town, his State, his Govern- I ment and himself—in all plans and ! movements in which the soldier and j [ sailor, turned civilian, is intimately concerned. It will assume that the four and a half million former ser- j \ice men in America are neither high- j brow nor lowbrow, that they, as the heirs of the Republic, are the men j upon whom the responsibilities of j i national and world citizenship are j descending. It will impress upon the j ' tormer service man the fact that, not 1 because he vas a soldier, but because • he is a citizen, the destinies of the > greater America must inevitably rest 1 upon him." r Capitol Hill Notes 1 Increases of Rates. —lncreases and' - changes of rates are provided in new j r tariffs filed with the Public Service s Commission to-day by Harley D.

I — ~ Scientific Discussions 1 by Garrett P. Serviss The voice of the cicada, or "seven- j teen-year locust," is again heard in 1 the land. Probably it is audible j i romewhere, here or there, almost ; ; every year, but when the concerts l 1 break forth near such a ctnter of | ' human population as Now York, this | j most remarkable insect is able, I literally, to command attention. I i Moreover, when it tills the air with | countless, buzzing hosts it recalls ! images of the merciless march of de- j ; stroying armies, vivified by the , I "mystic W" that it bears on its wings, : and that has been interpreted by a I certain type of mind as an omen of , coming war. The formidable big- | ness of the insect, its bristling look, j broad beetle brows, heavy body and ! hooked lintbs, together with its red | eyes and rod-veined wings, all in- j crease the somewhat terrifying im ; pression that it makes. It is a drummer, too —-another re | minder of war's alarm. The sound j of its drum is shrill and high-pitch- i ! ed, such as would be expected at the j head of an army of insects, but its | reach is far beyond the usual range | of insect sounds. It can be hoard at times a quarterjor perhaps even ! a half —mile away, when thousands ' of the males are "drumming" in con- I cert. The females have no drums, l or other musical or vocal instru- | nients, and I am not aware that any ; certain organ of hearing has been , recognized in their anatomy—but ] hear in some manner they surely ! must. The drum consist of a pair of ' tightly-stretched membranes cover- j ing small cavities at the base of the j thorax, and these membranes are j set into vibration, not by blows from | the exterior, but by the rapid action ! of special muscles attached to the ! inner surface. In truth, if natural- i ists are right. N the piercing sounds' thus produced are not warlike in any j sense, but are love songs. When j heard not too near, on a warm, j drowsy, summer afternoon, they , have a seductive quality even for j the human ear, and make an ad- | mirable prelude to a siesta. The cicada perhaps, the longest i lived of all insects. But the seven teen-year variety shows no great j fondness for our upper world, into which it emerges from under ground 1 merely for a very brief honeymoon, which lasts only a few weeks. For the cicuda, not only are matches made in heaven, but weddings, too, ! are performed there (for the world of sunshine must be a kind of heaven to it), and its whole family life is spent in this brief burst of celestial splendor, which covers less than one-seventeenth of its entire span of existence. During the other sixteen-seventeenths it dwells four or five feet below the surface of the ground, grubbing blindly for exist ence among the roots of trees. •During sixteen long years to be a crawling, ugly grug, grave-deep in the dark earth, with nothing to look forward to except a mere glimpse and momentary breath of paradise, and to end existence just when it seems to have become worth while— behold what the life of a cicada looks like from a human standpoint. There are at least twenty broods of seventeen-year cicada ' in the United States, each brood having its | own emergence year. The damage that the cicadas do to j vegetation is mainly concentrated up on the twigs, in which the female insect bores and saws holes in which to deposit her eggs. This operation is so vividly pictured in a letter to I me from Mr. William l,air Hill, of Oakland, Cal., that I quote it here: "At the time of one of the cycli , cal appearance of the cicada in ; Southwestern Tennessee, when sud ' denly an army numbering untold millions appeared, and the peculiar sound you describe tilled the air from early morning till far into the night—if not all night—and one or more branches of every tree were ' pierced by the 'awl' and the 'key \ hole saw' of the female insect ex • actly as you state. I was in that sec -1 tion of the country, and. becoming ! deeply interested in s studying the f strange insect, 1 observed its conduct from the change from grub to flying creature until the end of its active period. "I watched the actual making of those perforations. They were al ways made on the upper side of the twig, the process being precisely as described by you, and during the operation the insect could not be frightened away. "One perforation being completed —lirst bored in smooth with 'awl' and then widened out, and incident ally roughed up with the two 'saws' the operator would move forward nearly a quarter of an inch and re peat the same operation till a row of these holes of the perforations, 1 found at the extending along the twig from an inch to two and a half inches long had been completed. "Cutting off a number of these perforated twigs for examination and splitting them along the line a lettuce seed, only not quite so long or so distinctly pointed at the ends, creamy white in color and semi translucent. So in each of these twigs there were deposited from six to ten eggs. The grub, I take it, commenced its career in the per forated twigs and passed thence down to the ground to enter upon its sixteen-year subterranean bottom of each hole an egg—just one—about the size and shape of period." STRIKE A l AIIAHE Borne, Friday, Aug. 8. -j- The general strike at ijasle ended to day in a complete failure, like the one at Zurich.
